Version 2.1<br />
''Author: [[Kawa]]''</div>

==<br /> Description ==

<blockquote>
'''SeqMaker''' is a console or command line program. It can create, extract images from and play the Sierra [[SEQ Resources|SEQ files]]. As a command line program it could easily be used for batch file processing SEQ files. For those that want a GUI try [[SEQTool]], which is an [[:Category:SCI Companion Plugins|SCI Companion plugin]] based on SeqMaker.
</blockquote>

==<br /> Features ==

<blockquote>
* Supports PNG, BMP, GIF, and PCX
* Automatically detects sequences, so you can just drop book1.bmp on it and expect it to make book.seq with all 16 frames.
* Specify a later frame to start from there instead.
* Also supports TXT files with file lists in 'em in place of the first frame.
* Integrated player -- drop a SEQ file on it.
* Player doesn't use SetPixel any more!
* Anything wrong? This even has return codes for integration into UI fronts or whatever.
* Exploding a SEQ file into individual bitmaps of your chosen format.
</blockquote>

==<br /> Usage ==

<blockquote>
For command line use:

<code>seqmaker [infile]</code> => as above<br />
<code>seqmaker [infile] -o [outfile]</code> => don't guess the name of the seq to make

<code>seqmaker [seqfile]</code> => play seq in 320x200<br />
<code>seqmaker [seqfile] -d</code> => play seq in 640x400<br />
<code>seqmaker [seqfile] -a</code> => play seq in 320x240<br />
<code>seqmaker [seqfile] -a -d</code> => play seq in 640x480<br />
<code>seqmaker [seqfile]</code> -- plays SEQ file<br />
<code>seqmaker [seqfile] -e --</code> plays, but also saves frames as cd6-0001.png through cd6-0130something.png<br />
<code>seqmaker [seqfile] -e alexmirror1.png</code> -- saves as alexmirror1.png and so on.

Aspect and Dual switches have no bearing on what is saved.
